Loans Will Be Given Seniors
Aid Is Planned by Draper Following Canvass of 1936 Graduates
In an effort to live complete representation of the class ot 1936 in the senior section of the El Rodeo, members of the class yesterday voted to set aside a sum of S75 from the senior fund, to be used in the form of SI loans to those graduating members who will not be Vole to finance the picture at the present time.
Foy Draper, president of the class, formulated the plan after a personal canvass of more than 60 per cent of tl\e members who would not be able to get pictures taken and paid for within the deadline set by the studio.
The money will be loaned to senior students, who will sign no*es. payable just before graduation. In this manner. Draper expects to get almost 100 percent cooperation with class members in presenting a complete record of those who will graduate in either February or June, of this year.
To participate in the plan, students should see Dr. Francis Bacon, counselor of men. _
It was also made known by Draper that he was contemplating a senior party just prior to graduation at which only seniors or their escorts will be admitted.
Approximately 75 students attended the first meeting of the class. Another meeting will be held after the beginning of the second semester to decide upon a senior class gift.

Bonus Is Law; Senate Ignores Roosevelt Veto
Question of Finance Left Unsettled as Solons Vote Huge Sums
$2,237,000,000 Awarded
President Advises Quick, Accurate Payment of Veterans’ Money
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27—(U.P> — The senate voted 76 to 19 today to ignore President Roosevelt’s opposition to immediate payment of the soldier bonus, thus cnacting the bill into law but leaving unsettled the problem of raising funds to pay the $2,237,000,000 obligation.
Authorizing payment in bonds and cash for 3,500.000 ex-soldiers, starting June 15, was the easiest part of the bonus job. There remains the task of iinding the money. These alternatives have been discussed:
1. Borrowing. This would increase the national debt to more than $32,000,000,000.
2. Currency expansion. Opponents of this plan denounce it as inflationary.
New Taxes
3. New taxes, probably the most difficult and most unpopular method in an election year.
Advised of the senate’s action, President Roosevelt called on the veterans’ administration to carry out payment as quickly as accuracy would permit, at the same time urging veterans to be patient because of the magnitude of the task.
A white house statement said that 7,000,000 interest calculations would be necessary and that 2.500 to 3,000 additional clerks will be required for approximately six months to work .hem out.
Inflation Hit
Veterans’ leaders called on the president and promised to do everything possible to persuade exsoldiers to hold cheir bonds as an investment. They agreed with Mr. Roosevelt that every effort should be made “to prevent the frittering away of cash obtained from the bonds.”
During debate on the bonus the senate twice stifled the temptation to print new bills to pay It. but advocates of currency expansion are strong and are determined to renew the fight.
President Roosevelt’s plea that immediate payment of an obligation not due until 1945 would benefit able-bodied veterans at the expense of their disabled comrades failed to influence a single vote.
Fifty-eight Democrats joined 15 Republicans, one Progressive and two Farmer-Laborites in voting to override. Twelve Democrats and seven Republicans voted to sustain. It was the first time within the memory of vice-president John N. Garner that every member voted.
The house overrode Mr. Roosevelt’s veto Friday.
Outcome of today’s vote was so little in doubt that the treasury has been working ior several days on a design for the new bonus bonds, which will be issued to the veterans in $50 denominations. The veterans’ administration has ordered applications printed and expected to have them in the mails tomorrow.
The procedure of payment wil] be to issue bonds and cash to veterans in exchange for their adjusted service certificates. A veteran whose certificate is for $1000 will get 20 $50 bonds; one who has borrowed on his certificate will get the balance—say $525—in QP bonds and $25 in cash.
Clothes Committee Asks Donation of Coats, Suits
Josephine Kent, chairman of the Clothes commi.tee, requests that garments be brought to the office of Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford or Dean Francis Bacon. She states that the clothes will be given to students on campus who are in need. Coats and suits are especially requested. according to Miss Kent.
Promoted
Benton Brady, newly-elected business manager of the DaUy Trojan, supplants Leland Schmidt, resigning because cf the pressure of scholastic duties.
Business Staff Changes Made
Brady Named Daily Trojan Manager; Davies To Head Wampus
Election of two new business managers of University of Southern California publications featured the meeting of the board of student publications in the office of A. S. U. S. C. President Eames Bishop yesterday afternoon. Benton Brady was elected as business manager of the Daily Trojan, and Eloise Davies was appointed in a like capacity on the Wampus.
The election of the new business managers was caused by the resignation of Leland Schmidt, Daily Trojan business manager for the past year, because of the impending pressure of scholastic work during his final senior semester. President of the Men’s council, Schmidt will continue in that capacity for the remainder of fhe year.
Former Wampus Chief
Brady, who has handled the business duties of the Wampus for this year thus far, was recently named as advertising manager of the Daily Trojan, thus becoming the choice for the position of business manager on the S. C. student newspaper. A member of Kappa Alpha fratern-nity and of the Advertising club, Brady has just completed a term as president of Alpha Delta Sigma, national professional advertising fraternity.
He is a transfer \x> the University of Southern California from Glendale junior college, where he was active in the business organization of the publications of that institution.
Miss Davies Active
Miss Davies, for three years serving in the position of fashions editor and assistant business manager of the Wampus, is also an active member of the Trojan chapter of Gamma Alpha Chi, national professional advertising sorority.
In taking over the position of Wampus business manager, she becomes the first coed in S. C. history to be elected tc such an office.
Beers Named to Genetic Society
Catherine V. Beers, assistant professor of zoology, was elected to the executive committee of the American society of genetics last week. Miss Beers is noted for her work to increase the knowledge of hereditary diseases, and her work on drosophilia, the common fruit fly, has contributed much towards an understanding of how these flies breed, and methods of control.
The collection of mutations, owned by Miss Beers, which allow a careful study of the changing characteristics of these animals, is one of the finest in the country.
The society of genetics includes all of the famous geneticists of North America.

Landon Takes ‘Center of G.O.P. Stage’ for Speech
TOPEKA. Kan., Jan. 27—<CJ?)— Political stage managers who already have jockeyed Gov. Alf M. Landon far downstage in the Republican presidential show tonight ordered a hasty rehearsal before their candidate takes the center spot Wednesday night.
Landon’s comprehensive, 5,000 word “Kansas Day’’ speech was undergoing a final scrutiny. Ths principal boxholders for the Kansas birthday observance Wednesday night — national committeemen of states favorable to the Landon boom—were being checked off as present.
The probable leader of the candidate’s orchestra, John D. M. Hamilton, general counsel of the 3. O. P. national committee, was enroute by plane from Washington. Almost overshadowed by the preparations for the Landon debut was the announcement today of the candidacy for Kansu governor of
Congress Farm Group To Seek Program Help
Agriculture Committee To Ask Advice of AAA’s Legality Defender
Supreme Court Is Feared
Constitutionality of New Crop Measure Doubted By Senate Members
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27—OLP) — The Senate agriculture committee doesn’t want th* supreme court to toss its new farm program out the window like it did the AAA.
Although both Secretary of Ag-griculture Henrv A. Wallace and Chester Davis, AAA administrator, assured the committee that the proposed substitute was “constitutional and practical,” members decided today to seek the advice of Solicitor General Stanley Reed who argued the AAA case before the supreme court.
Smith States Problem Chairman Ellison D. Smith. D., S. C., said “The prime object of the committee in any legislation is to improve the farmers’ financial position. The probflm is how that can be done constitutionally and practically.”
Smith said it was not certain yet whether the committee would support the administration’s proposed farm legislation reestablishing benefit payments to farmers in return for soil conservation Instead of for outright crop reduction contracts.
Eome Doubt BiU
Some students of the present bill said they were unable to see how the AAA set-up could be rebuilt in a constitutional manner under the soil conservation premise when it was invalid under the crop-reduc-tion contracts.
Another matter which had been stalled by partisan differences moved a step forward today when the house foreign affairs committee favorably reported the administration’s permanent neutrality bill. The house is expected to consider it next week.
Amendment Doubted An amendment was adopted providing that the United States should negotiate under terms of any existing treaty it had with a nation for its modification before applying the neutrality provisions, if it appears that such provisions would violate the treaty. This may tend to curb the power put in the president’s hands where trade treaties con-Major points of the bill to supplant the temporary neutrality legislation which expires on February 29 are:
1. Embargoes on shipments of arms, ammunition and implements of war to foreign belligerents.
2. Discretionary presidential embargoes on war materials based on amounts over normal trade requirements of peace-time periods.
Warns Cribbers
William G. West, clerk of the federal district court here and one of Landon’s most trusted advisers.
West pledged himself to an administration of economy, similar to that of Landon, his chief. He spoke for non-partisan administration of relief, equitable distribution of the tax burden, rehabilitation of agriculture and liberal labor policies.
These same points are expected to serve as the backbone of Landon’s declarations on national policies. West, however, also took a dry stand on the ever fresh prohibition problem in Kansas.
Landon is not expected to consider prohibition a national issue.
Choice of Kansas day aa the event for his statement on national policies instead of one of many eastern speaking invitations was interpreted by the Landon boosters as proof that he will make an “executive mansion’' campaign.
Ethiopians Killed in South Total 10,000
ROME. Jan. 27—(lT.P»—Ten thousand Ethiopians have been killed by Italy’s mechanized legions cn the southern front since Jan. 12, when Gen. Rodolfo Graziani started his offensive, it was announced officially today.
Italian losses in the sanguinary battle for possession of the strategic Ganale Dorya river valley were held to a minimum, a communique said. Several hundred Italian native soldiers were killed or wouHded or are missing, it said, but did not specify white casualties.
The terrific onslaught has carried the Roman Eagle within 200 miles of Addis Ababa. Military experts believe the capital city will be Italy’s next objective after reaching the southern lake region, now within easy striking distance of Gen. Graziani’s advance units. The current offensive already has pushed forward more than 200 miles.
The village of Maloa Murri, 130 miles northwest A Dolo, the starting point of the offensive, was captured yesterday after a savage battle in which 1,467 Ethiopians were known killed, the communique asserted. •
On Jan. 23, it continued, advance units of the Italian army smashed Ethiopia’s defenses at Ua-dara, 45 miles northwest of Neg-helli and nearly 250 miles northwest of Dolo. The Ethiopians destroyed their own munitions depot at Uadara before retreating.
Leland Schmidt, chairman of the men’s council, yesterday announced action to be taken against student cribbers.
Deaths Mount As Cold Grows
Suffering Is W idespread As Temperature Goes Below 22 Degrees
By United Press.
Virtually all America east of the Rocky mountains, except for southern Florida, was in the grip of intense cold Monday night for the sixth successive day, with rtlief at least three days distant.
Deaths attributable to the arctic blasts reached 228 in a United Press tabulation.
Suffering was widespread.
A coal famine threatened.
With the temperature at 22 below zero in Bedford, Ia, many homes were without fuel, local coal dealers looked upon empty yards, and deliveries were impossible before late in the week. Small remaining stocks were prorated to 500 pounds each to the first on a long list of orders. Des Moines dealers promised deliveries on Monday orders no earlier than next week. Forecasters predicted a minimum of 25 below zero for northeast Iowa Tuesday morning.
WPA Hauls Coal
While the situation in Iowa was most acute, Pennsylvania reported slow fuel deliveries, with producers rushed. WPA trucks helped haul coal at Fort Wayne, Ind., where trouble was encountered in getting food supplies through from Michigan.
Wisconsin coal dealers predicted a fuel shortage unless the temperature moderates soon. Indiana companies were behind on orders. Illinois dealers were rushed and deliveries were slow.
Weather Freakish
The weather map had a freakish aspect. It was coldest in the northwest, ordinary gateway for cold waves, with Fullerton, Neb., reporting 24 below zero. In between, Chicago had 7 below, but the mercury suddenly slumped again and Lexington, Ky, reported a low of 15 under zero.
But at Miami, Fla., winter vacationists went swimming at 76 degrees, and southern Californians talked about the heat wave Just ended.
From the standpoint of fatalities attributable to the week-long subzero cold. Ohio was hardest hit. Forty-eight deaths were recorded in that state. Pennsylvania counted 29 dead and Illinois 28.
Coal Shortage Hits Iowa
DES MOINES. Ia.. Jan. 27— <U.R> —Hundreds of Iowa families, unable to secure coal because of an acute, state-wide fuel shortage, huddled tonight around the feeble warmth of kitchen gas stoves or retired early to conserve rapidly diminishing supplies.
Coal yards in mopt cities were stripped of fuel today after a week of paralvzing cold weather sent the mercury plunging co the lowest levels in a quarter century.
V/idespread human suffering will result in another 48 hours unless rhe bitter cold wave is broken fuel ocalers said. Emp‘y coal bins cannot be filled for from three days to a week.

Council Takes Action Against S.C. Cribbers
Schmidt Announces Policy Which Will Open Fire On All Offenders
Faculty To See Plan Today
Campus Leaders Denounce System Which Allows Unfair Practices
Fraternal and student body lead« ers called together by Student President Eames Bishop yesterday afternoon went :>n record as favoring elimination of cheating during all class examinations, and for a practical solution, referred tha problem to the faculty scholarship committee.
Not content with this action alone. Leland 3chmidt announced immediately after the meeting tha* the men’s coud«*U of which he ia chairman, will open fire this week on all types of misconduct during examinations.
“This matter must be settled by the students themselves,” Schmidt emphasized. ’‘The faculty cannot be relied upon to do it for them. Hie men’s council is going to in-naugurate a real system of punishment that will definitely curti cribbing.”
May Oust Offenders
Schmidt inferred that measure* taken by the men's council may go as far as actually running a few offenders off the campus.
Bishop is to present the resolution passed yesterday to the faculty committee today, in a meeting to be attended by President Rufus B. von KlelnSmid.
The majority of members opined in the student meeting yesterday that professors giving examinations are more to blame for any cheating that occurs than ara the students themselves.
“To begin wij;h,‘’ Broox Hoyt summarized, “many professors give examinations so comprehensive and abstruse that the use of crib notes might almost be thought imperative.”
ProfesHon Indicted
Bishop agreed, adding that tha conduct of certain professors In giving examinations actually invites unethical practices by students. Some, he pointed out. hold a newspaper in front of their eyes all tha time the test is being given, ov even leave the room entirely.
The situation in other colleges and universities was discussed, with Jim Hogan and Ida Mae Comper* describing tactics employed in combatting mispractices at Santa Clara and Louisiana, -espectively.
Hoyt told shortcomings of the proctor system at the University ot California, which, he asserted, haa placed the technic of cribbing on a highly competitive scale. Stanford’a honor system, on the other hand, has been reasonably successful.
Willis Stanley, student body president of the College of Engineering,; said that cheating has been re-

Loans Will Be Given Seniors
Aid Is Planned by Draper Following Canvass of 1936 Graduates
In an effort to live complete representation of the class ot 1936 in the senior section of the El Rodeo, members of the class yesterday voted to set aside a sum of S75 from the senior fund, to be used in the form of SI loans to those graduating members who will not be Vole to finance the picture at the present time.
Foy Draper, president of the class, formulated the plan after a personal canvass of more than 60 per cent of tl\e members who would not be able to get pictures taken and paid for within the deadline set by the studio.
The money will be loaned to senior students, who will sign no*es. payable just before graduation. In this manner. Draper expects to get almost 100 percent cooperation with class members in presenting a complete record of those who will graduate in either February or June, of this year.
To participate in the plan, students should see Dr. Francis Bacon, counselor of men. _
It was also made known by Draper that he was contemplating a senior party just prior to graduation at which only seniors or their escorts will be admitted.
Approximately 75 students attended the first meeting of the class. Another meeting will be held after the beginning of the second semester to decide upon a senior class gift.

Bonus Is Law; Senate Ignores Roosevelt Veto
Question of Finance Left Unsettled as Solons Vote Huge Sums
$2,237,000,000 Awarded
President Advises Quick, Accurate Payment of Veterans’ Money
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27—(U.P> — The senate voted 76 to 19 today to ignore President Roosevelt’s opposition to immediate payment of the soldier bonus, thus cnacting the bill into law but leaving unsettled the problem of raising funds to pay the $2,237,000,000 obligation.
Authorizing payment in bonds and cash for 3,500.000 ex-soldiers, starting June 15, was the easiest part of the bonus job. There remains the task of iinding the money. These alternatives have been discussed:
1. Borrowing. This would increase the national debt to more than $32,000,000,000.
2. Currency expansion. Opponents of this plan denounce it as inflationary.
New Taxes
3. New taxes, probably the most difficult and most unpopular method in an election year.
Advised of the senate’s action, President Roosevelt called on the veterans’ administration to carry out payment as quickly as accuracy would permit, at the same time urging veterans to be patient because of the magnitude of the task.
A white house statement said that 7,000,000 interest calculations would be necessary and that 2.500 to 3,000 additional clerks will be required for approximately six months to work .hem out.
Inflation Hit
Veterans’ leaders called on the president and promised to do everything possible to persuade exsoldiers to hold cheir bonds as an investment. They agreed with Mr. Roosevelt that every effort should be made “to prevent the frittering away of cash obtained from the bonds.”
During debate on the bonus the senate twice stifled the temptation to print new bills to pay It. but advocates of currency expansion are strong and are determined to renew the fight.
President Roosevelt’s plea that immediate payment of an obligation not due until 1945 would benefit able-bodied veterans at the expense of their disabled comrades failed to influence a single vote.
Fifty-eight Democrats joined 15 Republicans, one Progressive and two Farmer-Laborites in voting to override. Twelve Democrats and seven Republicans voted to sustain. It was the first time within the memory of vice-president John N. Garner that every member voted.
The house overrode Mr. Roosevelt’s veto Friday.
Outcome of today’s vote was so little in doubt that the treasury has been working ior several days on a design for the new bonus bonds, which will be issued to the veterans in $50 denominations. The veterans’ administration has ordered applications printed and expected to have them in the mails tomorrow.
The procedure of payment wil] be to issue bonds and cash to veterans in exchange for their adjusted service certificates. A veteran whose certificate is for $1000 will get 20 $50 bonds; one who has borrowed on his certificate will get the balance—say $525—in QP bonds and $25 in cash.

Council Takes Action Against S.C. Cribbers
Schmidt Announces Policy Which Will Open Fire On All Offenders
Faculty To See Plan Today
Campus Leaders Denounce System Which Allows Unfair Practices
Fraternal and student body lead« ers called together by Student President Eames Bishop yesterday afternoon went :>n record as favoring elimination of cheating during all class examinations, and for a practical solution, referred tha problem to the faculty scholarship committee.
Not content with this action alone. Leland 3chmidt announced immediately after the meeting tha* the men’s coud«*U of which he ia chairman, will open fire this week on all types of misconduct during examinations.
“This matter must be settled by the students themselves,” Schmidt emphasized. ’‘The faculty cannot be relied upon to do it for them. Hie men’s council is going to in-naugurate a real system of punishment that will definitely curti cribbing.”
May Oust Offenders
Schmidt inferred that measure* taken by the men's council may go as far as actually running a few offenders off the campus.
Bishop is to present the resolution passed yesterday to the faculty committee today, in a meeting to be attended by President Rufus B. von KlelnSmid.
The majority of members opined in the student meeting yesterday that professors giving examinations are more to blame for any cheating that occurs than ara the students themselves.
“To begin wij;h,‘’ Broox Hoyt summarized, “many professors give examinations so comprehensive and abstruse that the use of crib notes might almost be thought imperative.”
ProfesHon Indicted
Bishop agreed, adding that tha conduct of certain professors In giving examinations actually invites unethical practices by students. Some, he pointed out. hold a newspaper in front of their eyes all tha time the test is being given, ov even leave the room entirely.
The situation in other colleges and universities was discussed, with Jim Hogan and Ida Mae Comper* describing tactics employed in combatting mispractices at Santa Clara and Louisiana, -espectively.
Hoyt told shortcomings of the proctor system at the University ot California, which, he asserted, haa placed the technic of cribbing on a highly competitive scale. Stanford’a honor system, on the other hand, has been reasonably successful.
Willis Stanley, student body president of the College of Engineering,; said that cheating has been re-
